Accomplishments

My greatest accomplishment was being able to learn so many members names. This goes a long ways in making each members experience at the gym great. It shows that they aren't just another person there and that they are valued.

Learning experience

My greatest lesson is that each person will want to be pushed and wants to be motivated in different ways so it is up to you to find that way.
